Scouting Issues

I brought this to the attention to the developers, but this is a great example of why I am against having the real-time overall & potential ratings displayed on the profile page. I know people here are going to say "just turn them off", but to me, that's not a viable solution because it takes away from something that SHOULD be part of the game, but really just isn't working well or properly. I am against having the real-time overall & potentials on the profile page. I am NOT against having time sensitive reports on the scouting page displayed, These are a "snapshot in time"...and that is essentially what a scouting report is, a snapshot in time.

The profile page is a real-time dynamic ratings system which completely undermines what the scouting page tries to do...which is create a realistic scouting environment. In the example below, it's very obvious to me this player is better than the last time he was scouted, yet I didn't have to re-scout him to discover this. I also notice that for some reason the accuracies on each page differ....not sure why this is either??

I have brought this to the attention of the developers soooo many times, yet I never hear anything from them about what is going on here. It still doesn't make sense to me. I know there was a thread from not too long ago where I was discussing this, but I just wanted to chime in with a real world example. Tell me, what motivation to I have to re-scout this player? It's obvious he is a 45 and not a 40...so why have this displayed on the player profile page? I get it that the AI may realize this, but keep it under the hood please!! You will notice the game date is April 5th...one month after the scouted date of March 5th.
